Using Macros
Calculation of an assessed characteristic value can be done via a macro.
For more details on the use of HOPEX macros, see the All about starting with APIs technical article.Creating a macro
To create a macro:
1. Open the properties of the Scoring rules of interest.
2. Click the arrow at the right of the Select a Macro field and select Create.
The macro creation wizard opens.
3. Select the check box corresponding to the type of macro you want to use:
• Create a (VB)script macro
• Create a Java macro
• Create a C# Macro
• Use an existing macro
• Create a component-based macro
4. Click Next.
5. If the macro you have created can be reused for another scoring rule, select the Reusable box.
6. Click OK.
Implementing a macro
The macro should have a method called 'compute' with the following signature:
Sub compute(mgobjScoringRule As MegaObject, mgobjValueContext As MegaObject, mgcolAnswers As MegaCollection , mgobjAssessedValue As MegaObject)
End Sub
List of arguments:
• mgobjScoringRule: current quotation rule.
• mgobjAssessedValue: assessed characteristic value to be computed.
• mgobjValueContext: assessment node of current assessed characteristic value.
• mgcolAnswers: list of answers figuring in computing the assessed characteristic value.
Example of Scoring Rule Macros
HOPEX GRC proposes a default macro: "Compute average among one or more answers". This macro can be reused.

Explanation
|
|---|---|
|
Compute average among one or more answers
|
This macro aggregates one or more answers of a given question, computing the average of the answers' internal values. The result is used to obtain a unique answer, which is the one whose internal value is the closest to the computed average. In case of conflict, the algorithm returns the answer with the smallest internal value.
|
|
Compute max among one or more answers
|
This macro aggregates one or more answers of a given question, returning the answer with the highest internal value.
|
|
Compute min among one or more answers
|
This macro aggregates one or more answers of a given question, returning the answer with the smallest internal value.
